Table 4

Descriptive statistics of the intrapulpal temperature increment (∆T) in °C and the corresponding crowns thickness (mm).

	n	Mean	Std. deviation	Std. error	Minimum	Maximum
Temperature (∆T°C)	12	2.12	0.66	0.19	0.90	2.97
Thickness (mm)	12	4.10	0.38	0.11	3.50	4.7

One-sample t test: the safety of the results is significantly below the 5.6°C threshold at .
